A decade years after the passing of Williams’s mentor and manager, David Enthoven, who co-founded the management company, ie:music, with Tim Clark in 1992, Robbie Williams has parted ways with his current manager Michael Loney.
In a statement to The Sun in England, the superstar singer/songwriter said:
“It’s been an incredible time and I was fortunate to be managed by some truly wonderful people – most specifically David Enthoven, Tim Clark and Michael Loney.” “However, at this particularly buoyant time of my career, with so many opportunities in front of me and with the music business changing so rapidly, I felt it was time for a change – a fresh energy.” “I am currently putting together a brand new team and am hugely excited about the future.”
According to insiders, the split was “entirely amicable” and that Williams felt the urge for a fresh start following the January success of his Britpop full length. With its release, the star overtook The Beatles to become the artist with the most #1 LP in U.K. history.
“He broke The Beatles’ record at the start of the year. That filled him with a desire to set the bar as high as he can going forward.” “Robbie is forever buzzing with ideas about what he can do next. Whether that’s his music, his art or his other business interests.”
The latest news comes almost two weeks after Williams fronted a tribute performance to Ozzy Osbourne at the BRIT Awards, where he sang rendition of ‘No More Tears’ alongside Zakk Wylde, Adam Wakeman, Robert Trujillo and Tommy Clufetos, musicians who have played with the late rocker throughout the years.
